I think it's pretty awful and, as someone who cares about privacy, feels kind of disrespectful. (Layering disrespect under humor doesn't change it.) The basic attitude is: yes, we use all the tracking technology available and give your data to all the scary third parties, and no, you shouldn't be surprised because that's internet standard these days, and you don't know how this tech works anyway, so haha and good luck.

Despite the fun part, if they keep notes of their client names, it has to be GDPR compliant. That’s the example I give to my client, but with a hairdresser. If they give you fidelity card and they got a copy of your name in a cardboard box, then yes they have to comply to GDPR. Here in France, even the media says that GDPR is for internet companies, not explaining that it’s for every companies. So most of them are su…

> GDPR does not regulate what you personally know, it is about collections of information outside of your brain So if the same butcher took notes about his regulars’ preferences, they would need to be GDPR compliant?

If I take notes about your movie or software do I break IP laws? Maybe US law is weird.

If a European butcher takes notes on his customers using a paper notebook or Excel, are these different modes of data-management subject to GDPR? That's a pretty relevant question esp. since the article is on a butcher. The entire discussion is on the scope of GDPR.

What does US IP law have to do with this?

The IP law is related, it protects some people or companies IP, publishers have to follow it, have to respond to DMCA, people in other countries can go to jail. But people that want the IP laws think that my private data should not be mine and not be protected, because it should not be or because it is not easy. Responding to DMCA claims, making sure to use the right licenses for software and assets is not easy either so why is one liked or at least respected by startups and companies and other disliked?

How are you about to answer that with US IP law?

What kind of notes? I am not an expert in GDPR law since I don't track people, hopefully someone here would explain exactly what is PI and what is tracking and if will apply in this exact case.

Looks like a company that doesn't care at all about its users. If they always whine like this each time they have to do something, their course must be quite a pain to follow. That's a good example on not how to do it...

Rough translation: GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation Attention! In our butcher shop we might ask you for your name and memorize which kind of meat you like. If you don't want us to do that please shout "I do not approve!" when entering. We will pretend to not know you in that case. Btw, it's an Austrian butcher shop :)

But that's opt out and not opt in!!!
